Message	Got the bigger (ecu) one through with moderate cursing/smoke breaks (engine and trans in also, for similar reasons), however I can't see a way to get the smaller 14-pin connector through without either: a) 'modifying' the firewall hole (dremel, pry bar etc) so that the harness fits though, then pulling it though on the cabin side. Not preferable at all due to likely damage. b) de-pin the subharness, tape it up, and fish it through the hole. c) Sell the Z and get a car designed to worked on by adult f****g hands. I am literally upside down in the cabin trying to TRY and reach the harnesses. I've also read about people getting theirs through no problem, I cannot see how they're doing it in a sitting. This has held up everything else I had in mind. Do the writeup! RT ______ Royce 1991 Super White Z32 TT
